From Standard to Robust: A Universal Framework for Continual Adversarial Defense

· 0 citations · 47 references

TL;DR

This work proposes Universal Continual Adversarial Defense (UCAD), a universal framework that enables both standard and robust models to perform effective defense under the CAD setting and observes that as the number of encountered attacks increases, UCAD becomes increasingly robust, consistently enhancing the defense capability of existing robust models until saturation.

Robustness Meets Uncertainty: Evidential Adversarial Training for Robust Selective Classification

Evidential Adversarial Training (EV-AT), which models uncertainty through a Dirichlet distribution and combines an evidence-based loss promoting clean accuracy and reliable uncertainty with a robust evidence-alignment loss matching clean and adversarial predictions in log Dirichlet-parameter space, is proposed.

Rethinking Fake Adversarial Examples for Single-Step Adversarial Training

Adversarial training (AT) is a widely adopted defense against adversarial attacks, but its multi-step optimization process for generating adversarial examples leads to substantial computational overhead. To mitigate this, various single-step adversarial training methods have been proposed. However, these models often s...

Shared Vulnerabilities in Robustness-Optimized Defenses: One Breach Exposes the Family

Adversarial robustness optimization aims to preserve correct prediction under adversarial perturbations, and has produced substantial robustness gains through methods such as adversarial training and adversarial purification. However, we identify a new security risk: these gains can create shared vulnerabilities across...
